George W. had >90% after 9/11 >_> H. W. also almost breached 90

it's funny because he has the highest recorded approval rating, and the 3rd lowest!

H. W. takes #2 highest and #5 lowest (out of 14 recorded)

TWITTER ALLOWED SOMEONE TO INVADE HIS TEXT

Not even the most egregious misuse of the word "invade" by this administration.

Ok if I'm being honest it actually probably is because lol, but at least this one has much smaller (if any) real repercussions.

Mm. Just wasn't sure if he hit anything that high after that approval bump died off or if Obama ever crossed the 75% threshhold near the start of his term.

Without the phony Russia Witch Hunt, and with all that we have accomplished in the last almost two years (Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judges, Military, Vets, etc.) my approval rating would be at 75% rather than the 50% just reported by Rasmussen. Its called Presidential Harassment!

He is correct, in that if he didn't break the law his approval rating would be higher.

I'm pretty sure there's literally nothing Trump could ever do to make me approve of him given what he's done already

What if he offered to resign if his approval rating hit 75%, because that would mean that he had accomplished all his goals as president?

I guess that might make me lie to the pollsters, but it wouldnt change what I really thought! (Not actually though, because theres be no reason to believe a promise from the platonic ideal of a liar himself)

In other news, Tariff Man has managed to make the Dow negative for the year despite no recession. Very impressive!

To clarify, he is saying this in an interview for a swiss paper, and not to his viewers on Fox News.

That demographic is not going to hear this and he's not going to tell them this.

He's still a fucking piece of shit.

Yes. But as long as he continues spewing lies and hatred to the people that actually listen to him, it means jack shit.

Tucker believes in all the awful things Trump does.

But very few will come out and say Trump is terrible at his job.

Reg is saying that he's only saying it because he's speaking to foreign press and that it won't reach his usual audience and that he won't repeat that sentiment to them.

I mean, it might be slightly surprising he's saying it at all, but pretty much no one who regularly listens/watches him will ever see or hear of it.

lol, speaking of Rass, Trump was both celebrating and complaining about his "50%" approval rating on twitter yesterday.

Still complaining today.

Wait, the Russia Witch Hunt is phony? So there isn't a witch hunt going on at all then. Guess that means the investigation is legitimate!

If Mueller plans on arresting Trump once out of office, we won't be hearing anything from him once he is put in his cell(if a court finds him guilty).

bye the way

Love the idea that it takes him ~10 minutes to write the next tweet each time.

Wow he is breaking today

If i had to wager a guess, more Mueller news will be dropping either later today or Monday.

"robert mueller and leakin' lyin' james comey"

he makes up for the lack of a mueller adjective by giving comey TWO of them!

Has anyone coined the term Tantrump for any tweet he puts out in a fit of rage?

Has anyone checked to see if the rant is still going?

I can only imagine what these would be like under the old 140 character rules.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/14/us/politics/trump-pressure-clinton-investigation.html

Mr. Barr said he sees more basis for investigating the uranium deal than any supposed collusion between Mr. Trump and Russia. To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility, he said.

More than slightly concerning.

The fact that he's nominating a guy who is clearly qualified to hold the office instead of a blatant sycophant is still much better than I was expecting, though.

Barr believed that then Republican candidate Donald J. Trump's calls for investigating Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for President, were not inappropriate. He told The New York Times that "there is nothing inherently wrong about a president calling for an investigation. Although an investigation shouldnt be launched just because a president wants it, the ultimate question is whether the matter warrants investigation." In the same Times piece, Barr added that an investigation into the Uranium One controversy was more warranted than looking into whether Trump conspired with Russia: To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility.

The fact that he's not trying to keep whitaker in there indefinitely is all the more surprising.

Wonder if this is pence's handiwork.

Can we also appreciate how there's no recognition for pearl harbor day?

I dont mind investigating Hillary. Just dont go over the line into dont investigate Trump

You don't really need to guess that. >_>

The sentencing memo for Manafort is due today by 11:59 PM, though it'll probably be heavily redacted like the Flynn one on Tuesday. There's also a filing due involving Cohen IIRC.

And on top of all that, Comey is meeting with Congress today.

Speaking of which I believe Ive used the words fucking moron to describe Trump in this very topic series dozens of times, including many times before Tillerson. Eagerly awaiting my tweet...!
---

While that's undoubtedly true, it's probably a response to Tillerson's interview that came out today where he called Trump "undisciplined," that he "doesn't like to read, doesn't read briefing reports" and that he'd often have to tell him that "[...] you can't do it that way. It violates the law."

I imagine just about every president is told that at some point. That's a primary reason the office of the AG exists.

Trump just commended a law enforcement agent for his work fighting "rival gangs, right here in St. Louis." Members of the audience in Kansas City did a double take.

Trump is R-Truth now
